Advertised NED and board fees

Last updated

Each advert below was read on its own page through our fetch box; its row gives the fee it states. 179 of 243 adverts state an annual fee or day rate. 57 of 225 GOV.UK public appointment adverts state no remuneration (museum and gallery trustees, honours committees, lay members). A few pay per meeting or hour, excluded from the medians.

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 179 of the 243 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 64 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 374 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): per advertised role (a GOV.UK public appointment, an NHS trust or ICB non-executive advert, a housing association or charity board advert), the remuneration the advert itself states, verbatim, with its unit (per annum or per day), the body, the role (chair or member/NED), the time commitment and the advert's own dates; across roles the median, quartiles and range of the annual fee and, separately, of the stated day rate, by board type (public body, NHS, housing and charity) and by role (chair against member), and the share of advertised seats that state no remuneration at all (unpaid or expenses only), counted from the adverts and never estimated

“Advertised NED and board fees”, NED Fees, https://nedfees.co.uk/ (updated 2026-11-09). Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 179 of the 243 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 64 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 374 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): per advertised role (a GOV.UK public appointment, an NHS trust or ICB non-executive advert, a housing association or charity board advert), the remuneration the advert itself states, verbatim, with its unit (per annum or per day), the body, the role (chair or member/NED), the time commitment and the advert's own dates; across roles the median, quartiles and range of the annual fee and, separately, of the stated day rate, by board type (public body, NHS, housing and charity) and by role (chair against member), and the share of advertised seats that state no remuneration at all (unpaid or expenses only), counted from the adverts and never estimated

Three steps

  • Step 1 Tell us what the board needs and how the seat would be paid. No account, about a minute.
  • Step 2 Execplaced passes it to up to three non-executive directors, and to no one else. You are emailed each one's name as your details go to it.
  • Step 3 They contact you directly, and you are free to walk away.

NED Fees is a free introduction service operated by Joseph Ellul (5 Dolce Vita Corte, Triq San Mikiel, San Gwann, SGN 2303, Malta). Your details go to up to three non-executive directors chosen by Execplaced, who contact you directly; we may receive a fee from them, and you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We do not sit on boards ourselves. It carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no network or firm in the table has paid to be there or can pay to be removed. Every figure is read from the named network's own public page on the date shown and is what that network advertises, not a fee for your board. Prices move; check the source before you rely on a row.

Straight answers

What does a non-executive director get paid in the UK?

Across 64 advertised public body board member and NED seats, the median stated fee is £15,000 a year, middle half £10,000 to £24,294.25. Chairs of public bodies are advertised at a median £48,000 across 37 adverts. Those are the fees the adverts themselves state, read 2026-11-09.(Advertised NED and board fees: every advert, with its source)

What is a typical NED day rate?

Seats advertised with a day rate pay a median £429 a day for members and NEDs (34 adverts, £173 to £1,000) and £550 a day for chairs (23 adverts).(Advertised NED and board fees: every advert, with its source)

What do NHS non-executive directors get paid?

The 19 NHS trust and ICB non-executive adverts read state £7,315 to £18,000 a year, with a median of £13,000; associate non-executive roles sit at the bottom of that range.(Advertised NED and board fees: every advert, with its source)

How many board seats are unpaid?

57 of the 225 GOV.UK public appointment adverts read state no remuneration at all: mostly museum and gallery trustees, honours committees and lay members. They are listed on the dataset page as stating no fee rather than dropped.(Advertised NED and board fees: every advert, with its source)

What do listed company NEDs get paid?

Spencer Stuart's 2025 UK Board Index puts the average FTSE 150 non-executive base fee at £80,888, a 3% increase over 2024. Senior independent directors are paid an average £24,911 on top. That is a listed-company figure; the public body and NHS adverts above are the ones that state their own fee.(2025 UK Spencer Stuart Board Index (PDF))

What do the NED networks charge a director to join?

Between £35 and £799 a year on the five networks that print a price, with a median of £494, read on 2026-11-09. That is a director's own cost of being on a network's vacancy board, not the fee a company pays its NED. The table lists each network and its entry tier.(NED network and search costs: every row, with its source)

Do NED search firms publish what they charge a company?

None of the search and placement firms we read prints its fee on its own page: each quotes per brief. 5 of the 27 pages read print a figure, and all five are networks' membership prices. The others are listed in the table as publishing no price rather than dropped.(NED network and search costs: every row, with its source)

Where do these figures come from, and when were they read?

Each one is a sentence on the provider's own page, read on 2026-11-09 through our own fetch box. It is stored with the hash of the page's text, so the row can be checked against what was there that day. The row links to the page it came from.(NED network and search costs: every row, with its source)

Is this what a non-executive director will cost my company?

No. These figures are what a director pays a network to join, not a board fee. What a company pays its NED is agreed per appointment and depends on the company, the role and the days a month. Very few firms that place NEDs print a figure, which is why it is not tabled here.(NED network and search costs: every row, with its source)

Who answers an enquiry from this page?
